The Road to the 2020 Census: Building and Maintaing an Accurate Address Frame

Description

A complete and accurate address list is a critical piece of the framework for conducting a successful census. In this session, we discuss the various programs and processes in place at the Census Bureau to ensure accuracy, quality, and completeness of the Master Address File (MAF) for the 2020 Census. In these presentations, we will discuss the use of in-office methods, including the use of imagery, to identify areas of housing stability and change, operations focused on cleaning up the MAF, research and analysis to monitor on-going change in the housing landscape, and analysis of the results of in-office methods in comparison to in-field address canvassing.
